Harper's on July 01, 2009 by Lar from Chicago suburb

  • Pros: 2nd oldest mag in the US
  • Cons: DNA

Harper's is well written by people who care about what they write. The articles can range from fairly short to fairly long. Whether it's about a political issue, modern day issues, something you should know about, etc, they always seem to be good articles. What surprised me is the writers are not afraid to use swear words. It's not an every-other-word thing, just here and there. Also, the articles seem to have a hip slant to them.

ABOUT HARPER'S

Harper's was founded in 1850 by Harper & Brothers in New York, making it the oldest general interest monthly magazine in America. It is the second oldest continuously-published monthly magazine in the United States. Harper's consists of commentary which presents a unique perspective on politics, society, the environment and culture. There have been many notable contributors to the publication in its long history, such as Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Frost, Winston Churchill, Horatio Alger and Mark Twain. Regular features found in Harper's include "Notebook" and "Harper's Index", a list of interesting facts and relative numbers. For example "Average number of mass protests in China each day: 200" and "Age of the girl who made the first bear kill in Maryland's hunting season last fall: 8". "Readings" features excerpts and articles from a variety of sources, such as interviews with fascinating people, politicians and celebrities or a personal account from a woman living with HIV. "Essay" features thought-provoking commentary from talented writers. You'll also find "Reviews" of new books. Other regular columns are "Folio", "Letter from Talatha", "Miscellany", "Story", "Reviews", "Puzzles" and "Findings". Readers might also enjoy Atlantic Monthly, Utne Reader and Oxford American.
